Acid Phosphatase (Total)
₹300
About This Test
Acid Phosphatases (ACP) are a group of enzymes found in prostate gland, red blood cells, platelets, bone, liver, and spleen.
The Prostatic Fraction (PAP) is a specific isoenzyme predominantly secreted by the prostate gland. Measurement of this fraction helps differentiate total ACP into prostatic and non-prostatic components.
Acid Phosphatase could be diagnostically useful as serological and histological markers of disease, and could also be of use in the investigation of the pathophysiology of the associated disease.
Prostate acid phosphatase (PAP) has been used extensively as a serum marker for cancer of the prostate. It is released into the serum from the prostate gland in increasing amounts as malignant tissue proliferates

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What tests are done in Clinical Biochemistry?
These tests measure common things like blood sugar, liver function, kidney function, cholesterol, electrolytes and ACP.
2. Do I need to report fasting?before these tests?
Fasting is not required for ACP
3. How soon will I get my reports?
Mon-Sat, sample before 4pm, report same day and sunday reports, next day.
4. Are biochemistry tests reliable?
Yes. We use fully automated machines that ensure accurate and consistent results.
5. Can these tests detect early health problems?
Total Acid Phosphatase levels increase in the presence of progressive and metastasizing prostate carcinoma, the increase being dependent on the stage of the disease.
TAT Policy
The Turnaround Time (TAT) depends on the following factors:
- Registration date and time
- Type of scan or test
- Scan time or sample collection time
In uncommon circumstances, TAT may be delayed due to test complexity or reasons beyond our control. You will be informed of the estimated TAT at the time of registration.
